Annoying gem bugs #1

Description

@elad

From this commit message:

  • When installing the gem I get warnings like:

    unable to convert "\xAB" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/data/BidiMirroring.dat, skipping
    unable to convert "\x87" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 for lib/data/UnicodeData.idx, skipping
    

    This might be an issue with the Mac OS X terminal and in any case it seems harmless.

  • Gem installation freezes (or lags horribly) when printing this line:

    Installing ri documentation for bidi-0.0.1
    

    I have no idea why, and if I ^C and install again it doesn't happen, and it seems like a relatively common problem, so whatever.

  • This gem requires weakref. Unfortunately, when I add it as a dependency
    using

    s.add_dependency rubysl-weakref
    

    It gets added to the $LOAD_PATH which makes it not work for some reason. If I remove the dependency it works... but requires that it be installed manually.

Help appreciated!
